I was lucky enough to be part of a focus group last weekend where we were giving our opinions on the new V8 vantage, they wouldn't let us take anything away but from memory

Proposed list price - £76 700

Extras (no prices quoted.)

Paddle Shift Box
Sat Nav
19" Wheels (like the show car)
PDC
Cruise
Special paints etc

Engine 4.3 litre V8 380 bhp 295 lbs torque (no revs given)

Weight 1450kg (i think - minds going I'm getting old!)

What does everyone think, my impression is that for a pure 2 seater it could be a bit overpriced? compared to a 911 and especially Fords other performance car a Jag XKR(Which is also due for a new model in 2005) - but is the AM badge worth the extra £20K ?
